I'm not ordinarily into news but here's a World Exclusive for you. It's official. Rory McIlroy is engaged to marry his girlfriend Erica Stoll after he got down on one knee and made a romantic proposal last night.

Perhaps it was fitting that the venue for the proposal was Paris, after a tough couple of weeks for the city.

Rors has known Erica since she woke him before his singles match at the 2012 Ryder Cup and they have been together for about a year.

I have no further details as to the wedding date, except to say the news is 100% official from several mutual friends. I'm sure an official statement will follow which tonnes of other sites will have. But remember where you heard it first.
